It depends (a LOT) on the ferrite mix (usually expressed as a type #). 
Some are good enough conductors to measure with a VOM, others are very 
good insulators, the rest are "in between."  We can learn a LOT from a 
careful study the Fair-Rite engineering catalog -- I did! You can 
download it as a pdf from the Fair-Rite website.

A tutorial on some aspects of ferrites (focusing on their use in common 
mode chokes) is part of k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf  and key elements were 
added to the ARRL Handbook about six years ago.
